Alumni of Westfield State University Using Social Media

I was honored to be included in September’s issue of “Focus” Magazine, the alumni publication for Westfield State University.

The article featured alumni who are using social media to further their careers and enhance their business.

It is wonderful to be included in this WSU publication and to have an opportunity to share how I am using social media to help sell homes in Western Massachusetts.

My English degree from Westfield State University helps me with writing and creating my marketing plans. As a real estate agent at Park Square Realty in Westfield MA 01085. I enjoy combining traditional marketing with online and social media marketing to help my clients sell their homes and help buyers to find their next home.

Thank you to my good friends at WSU for including me in this article!

Does your Western MA REALTOR do this?

In today’s tough marketplace it is more important than ever that your home be marketed to the most potential buyers in the strongest format possible.

As a professional real estate agent at Park Square Realty in Westfield, MA 01085 it is my goal to be constantly learning, evolving and creating new marketing strategies for my home sellers. A large part of my marketing plan is internet based. Take a look at my listings and ask yourself, “Does my Western MA REALTOR do this?”

Westfield, MA Construction Now and Then

Anyone that has driven through my hometown of Westfield, MA 01085 in the last few months will have noticed the extensive construction going on. It seems every part of town is torn up and slow moving. Between the new bridge project, the new Town Green project and the multiple roads that are being dug up and resurfaced you can’t really go anywhere in town without running into a construction crew.

I work at Park Square Realty, 44 Elm Street, Westfield MA and the construction is literally right out of our front door.

This is what it looks like at the Town Green today:

This is the sketch of what Westfield Town Green is supposed to look like after completion:

I hope they can get us from the mess it is today to that lovely state as soon as possible, but in the meantime: hang in there folks, Westfield will be better than ever when this is done!

Why Should You Hire Lesley Lambert, REALTOR in Westfield, MA?

As I work with different clients, our relationships develop in unique ways. My favorite experience is when a client becomes a close personal friend of mine.

Such is the case with Tom and Kelly Galanis of Westfield, MA.

I met Tom and Kelly for the first time at PodCamp Western MA in 2009. We connected over Westfield State College which is their employer and my alma mater. After knowing each other for a little bit, they asked me to meet them over coffee at which time they told me that they would like to hire me as their real estate agent to sell their home.

We were successful and this is what Kelly wrote about our transaction:

“In this extremely difficult economy, the thought of selling a home is daunting for many. My husband and I entrusted the help of Lesley Lambert with the sale of our home, and she made the experience simply amazing! Lesley is a seasoned professional in the real estate industry with over 20 years of experience and it shows. She took the time with our family to educate us on the current trends in the market and offered helpful suggestions on maximizing the visibility of our home. What sets Lesley over the top is her unique and innovative use of Social Media in the real estate market. She uses tools such as Twitter and her popular blog to get the word out about new listings. She also does routine blogs featuring tips and tools for buyers and sellers to improve their home sale experience. Her knack for technology is an exceptional added value to sellers and is something you won’t find in most other Realtors in the area! Lesley not only brings these great qualities to the table as a Realtor, but she also brings RESULTS. We accepted a reasonable offer on our home within 30 days of listing with Lesley, and our property closed within six weeks of accepting that offer. Lesley has excellent ambition, dedication and is motivated to get properties SOLD! She also has excellent knowledge when working with buyers, particularly first-time home buyers. My husband and I highly recommend Lesley for all your real-estate needs – you won’t be disappointed!” December 4, 2009

Tom and Kelly and I remain close friends, which is really a treasure, and are working together in the Western MA social media community and at what is now Westfield University on their alumni relations. I am blessed to have such amazing clients and friends!

Back to School in Western Massachusetts “The most wonderful time of the year!”

Back to School
Today was the first day of school at Highland Elementary School in Westfield, MA for my nine and six year old who were super excited to get back to see their friends and meet their new teachers. I was excited, too…..

Although I love the time with my children over the summer, it is really difficult to juggle a career with a kid’s idea of summer vacation, let me tell you. We bounced from “Camp Real Estate” (which is just me dragging them on appointments and shushing them when a phone call comes in) to actual day camp (which they loved) and time off (which in a REALTOR’S life means working triple hard to catch up after).

So we fit in our fun, but we are all ready on some level to get back to our friends, theirs at school and mine at Park Square Realty, and to a bit more structure. I just met them at the bus after the first day and they had a wonderful day…full of stories and bubbling up excitement. I had a great day, too. New beginnings are exciting and full of possibility.

By the time of this posting, most of the area schools are in session. I hope that all my readers enjoyed their summer to the fullest and are feeling the same sense of bittersweet joy captured in this old Staples commercial.
